My boomer ass thinks that good rap music ended somewhere around Illmatic or 36 Chambers, and I haven't really kept up too much since the late 90s.
In recent years I've enjoyed Pusha T's Daytona, Conway, some of the A.S.A.P. crew stuff and I dig Kendrick Lamar. I dig good flows and tracks that still have that boom bap. I don't really vibe with the mumbly shit.
Who's ruling these days?

3I'm not a big hip hop person in general but I like Danny Brown and Shabazz Palaces.

4Examples of "mumbly shit?" Like the auto-tuned stuff? Some of that stuff has the best beats, IMO.
I mentioned this on PRF 1.0 but my favorite rap/trap/hip-hop has what I consider a psychedelic quality, beat-wise.

Shabbaz Palaces
there really seems to be an explosion of interesting musical political hip-hop right now. This occurred last week
I'm honestly gravitating way more to Hip-Hop, Jazz, Afro-Beat and some of the latest fusions of the three made by folk a bit younger than me, who grew up with Hip Hop as the dominant cultural language, than non-PRF rock music.

7I second Danny Brown, his album XXX is fantastic.
Run the Jewels (their first record is a bit bumpy, but after that they've been consistently good)
Tyler, the Creator
